So, I mounted my Palmer PGA04 and PDI03 into my 20 space rack today. Sounded pretty cool...until I heard a loud screetching noise (which sounded a lot like feedback?) and a loss of gain. It sounded like these screetches came from both the preamp and the poweramp. I had wired my preamp through my GCX into my poweramp through the GCX. No sound at all when plugged into the GCX. Plugged into the Triaxis definitely considerable loss of gain. Not sure what to say about the poweramp. The gain settings were set pretty high for this amp, but I was getting amazing saturation (TriAxis: Master 5.0, Master Volume Knobs 5/2:Ninety: Main Volume set at 11 o'clock). I actually don't use this rig all that often. In fact, I probably played it for a total of 5 hours in it's entire life (not kidding).
So here are my questions:
1. WTF happened?! The preamp tubes look fine. Did I destroy something on the inside?
2. How can I ensure that this doesn't happen again?
Please help!
